bIn a statement to a local paper, Kal Ha’Ir (May 9), he said: “The bshaky security situation in Jerusalem recently stems from the bimproper policies of the security authorities, and Teddy Kollek bhas a not insignificant influence in this. They try to build re- bciprocal relations . . . but lack of [Jewish] response does not bprove tolerance, but rather it proves weakness. . . . b“I know places where Arab residents attack Jews every day b—East Talpiot, for example—but these incidents are not bpublicized. . . .” bWhat is especially not publicized are the Arab sexual at- btacks; thus, the number of Bedouin rapes of women in Eilat, btourist beach areas, and the Negev (the rape-murder of a woman bsoldier, Vered Wiener, by a Bedouin was especially horrifying). bIn Jerusalem, women residents of the Diaspora Yeshiva on bMount Zion have suffered for more than a decade from Arab bsexual attacks. bThe Arab sexual perversions result in cases such as the one bin which five Arab laborers were accused of paying Jewish chil- bdren from Tel Giborim and then practicing sodomy on them. bThe children ranged in age from eight to ten years (Yediot bAharonot, January 22, 1976).
